Hello everyone. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. My name is Rafael and I'm a senior software engineer and also a independent researcher. Today I'm excited to share insights on building a resilient healthcare platform at scale. Specifically how we leverage AI to create solution that support over 700 million senior travelers worldwide with an aging global population and increasing mobility. Ensuring accessible, reliable healthcare on the go has never been more critical in this talk. I will walk you through the challenges, engineering approaches, and AI innovations that power these platforms, helping millions travel safer and healthier. By 2030, our 703 million senior citizens will be traveling internationally. This rapidly expanding demographic presence, enormous opportunities, but also unprecedented challenges for global healthcare systems. Senior space heightened health risk when abroad, yet traditional healthcare infrastructure struggles to provide the real time cross border medical support they need at scale. This presentation explores the engineering journey of building a resilient, a powered healthcare platform. Serving millions of senior travelers across 34 countries, we will dive deep into this technical solutions from scalable architecture and observability to regulatory compliance, and develop a experience that enable us deliver reliable, lifesaving support in real time. Platform architecture at the core of our platform is a microservices based architecture designed to scale dynamically while ensuring rob robust stability. The system handles 12 million a PA calls daily with an impressive 99.97 person uptime operating across globe, geographically distributed clusters to ensure reliability and the low latency worldwide. More than 50,000 concurrent wearable devices continuously stream theological data. This includes heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and more through an event driven architecture, the platform processes, alerts and anomalies with a sub 200 milliseconds lat C. Ensuring critical health interventions can be triggered without delay. This architecture not only supports massive concurrency, but also ensures fault isolation. So failures in one microservice do not cascade into systemic outages, scaling challenges, and engineering solutions. During the peak travel seasons, demand surged by up to 10 x pricing. Immense pressure on system resources to address this. We implemented certainly order scaling solution using Kubernetes, enabling the system to dynamically provision resources in real time. This set up leverage live traffic data and behavioral pattern analysis, ensuring consistent performance and seamless user experience, even under the extreme lot conditions to support the unique demands of healthcare system.

This architecture shows high availability and trustworthiness in handling sensitive healthcare data and operations. These solutions enabled the platform to remain resilient under extreme law, ensuring uninterrupted healthcare delivery, even in unpredictable real worlds condition, multi-region data platform and compliance. One of the most complex challenges in building this healthcare system was navigating data, sovereign entity and privacy regulations across multiple regions. Each jurisdiction had distinct legal requirements governing how and where patient data could be stored, processed, and accessed. To address this, the system was architected with a region aware data handling, ensuring full compliance with the frameworks like hipaa, JDPR, and local data residency laws, while maintaining operational consistency and performance across borders. The platform was architecture to simultaneously comply with the GDPR and APA standards. This dual compliance approach ensured that patient privacy, data security, and consent management were imposed consistently across regions. By embedding compliance at both the infrastructure and application levels, the system maintained regularly alignment without compromising the performance or user experience. To ensure trust and transparency in medical data exchange, a blockchain layer was integrated into the data pipeline. This provided a tam proof ledger for tracking interactions across hospital insurers and providers guaranteeing data integrity with our exposing sensitive patient information. By combining immutability and privacy resolving mechanism, the system fosters secure collaboration across the healthcare ecosystem. A distributed data pipeline enabled cross-border synchronization, allowing physicians in different countries to assess consistent up-to-date patient records in near real time. The seamless coordination improved clinical decision making, reduced duplication of diagnostics, and supported continuity of care. Regardless of geographical location, the architecture was designed with a strict adherence to regional com compliance standards, ensuring both accessibility and privacy. By combining cloud native infrastructure with the blockchain verification, the platform struck a balance between compliance, accessibility, and performance, observability and reliability at scale in a healthcare environment where lives depends on the system performance. Reliability is non-negotiable to guarantee continuous uptime and rapid issue resolution. The platform incorporates comprehensive observability through re realtime monitoring, logging, and alerting, coupled with automated failure detection and self-healing mechanisms. This ensures proactive response to anomalies, maintaining uninterrupted service and patient safety at scale. One 50 plus metrics.
